Hi,
I just started using a Macbook pro with retina display.
I notice the fonts are quite blurry. Is there something one can do to improve
that?

What version of Pharo?
What version of OSX?
What fonts?
I'm not sure of these details, but it will give you some things to think
about and try (and someone can correct me otherwise).
* Pharo's default font is still a bitmap StikeFont.
* StrikeFont bitmaps are sub-pixel anti-aliased.
* Sub-pixel anti-aliases
* Retina display sometimes have sub-pixel rendering turned off, or maybe
otherwise problem.
Try...
* Choosing a TrueType font
* Changing some OSX display settings
